The Gameweek rolls on with Monday night football under lights and a clash at St Mary’s made all the more spicy by last week’s shock dismissal of Nigel Adkins. The Mauricio Pochettino era at Southampton starts tonight, then, handing him a tough baptism against David Moyes’ rugged Everton outfit.

Fantasy managers will have eyes on the hat-stand attacking talents of Marouane Fellaini, with backers of Leighton Baines hoping for some set-piece joy and raids down the left. As for the Saints, Rickie Lambert will carry the burden of scoring the goals for his new boss and, with plenty holding tight after his double Gameweek success, he carries decent Fantasy interest going into tonight’s match.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to follow their fortunes for those who fancy some real-time banter.

The team news from St Mary’s finds the new manager make two changes which come as no surprise: both Rickie Lambert and Gaston Ramirez earn recalls to the starting lineup having been benched for the 2-2 draw at Chelsea. Steven Davis and Jay Rodriguez drop out to make way. As for the visitors, they make one change as Victor Anichebe gives way to Steven Naismith. The big news for the Toffees is that the live-wire Kevin Mirallas is fit enough for a return to the bench.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Here is my team.

    Jaaskelainen, (Federici)
    Davies, Luiz, Gibbs, (Demel), (Clyne)
    Fellaini, Michu, Walcott, Cazorla, (Noble)
    Lambert, Suarez, Van Persie

    Ive got 1.2m in the bank

    Plan was to do Caz to Mata or Bale. Thinking of waiting for 1 week more to see what Caz can do and then use my 2 transfers the week after that to do Caz to Mata and Luiz to Evra. What do you think?

    a. Caz to Mata
    b. Caz to Bale
    c. Luiz to Evra
    d. Do nuffink next week and do Caz and Luiz to Mata and Evra the week after that.

      I don't think they've got a particular problem with the new guy (probably never heard of him) - the problem is with the chairman's decision to sack the manager that got them promoted from League 1 to the Prem in 2 seasons.

      The key is always to get these types of players in at the right time. Both the above mentioned players will score big, it's just when.

      The Cazorla, Bale, Walcott hattricks earlier in the season is a perfect example of having the right players at the right time and also having a lot of luck.

      Bale is a worthy candidate for any FF team.
